This paper empirically tried to analyze the effects of education on the gender wage gap in Indonesia and to examine whether globalization could alter such a relationship. We modified a decomposition method for the panel dataset that corresponds to the National Socio-Economic Survey from 1996 to 2016. Overall, we found that schooling could significantly influence the salary discrepancy. We also proved that globalization did matter in explaining the relationship between the educational attainment and the salary gap. Here, it could widen the difference in the remuneration. Based on the results, strengthening the gender-responsive budget at the national government level might be one of the solutions. Basically, it actually started with a new awareness of the budget that was not genderneutral. Thus, the positioning of women in education and decision-making process is very crucial for the future of development.

Digital startups are growing fast around the world, but new digital startups that are less than three years old or did not materialize when it came to funding while the business model is quite promising. Various literature shows that digital transformational leadership can encourage knowledge sharing and an organization's absorptive capacity to improve performance.

The aim of this study is to determine stakeholder acceptance of the blockchain and to investigate a suitable model using a Technology Acceptance Model with specific reference to corporate governance through cryptography in solving decades of financial record-keeping problems. Stakeholders in corporate governance, namely customers, creditors, suppliers, communities, employees, owners, investors, trade unions and social activists, can benefit in different ways. Investors can benefit from buying equity at a lower price and selling it on a market with greater liquidity, but they will find it difficult to disguise their trades. This study argues that almost all aspects of corporate governance can be improved through the application of this technology, which results in greater transparency, increases liquidity, and lowers costs. Corporate governance will also be better because blockchain technology uses the concept of a distributed ledger which allows data to be distributed at every connected point in an efficient and accountable manner, so that all parties in the blockchain can exchange data in real time.
